This is my way of positively dealing with my addiction to the fiber fancies: the yarns, the fabrics, the vintage trims that take up my bedroom space and infect my brain with all the possibilities of things i could make.
I should have started this long ago....I work partime at a fabric store and that tactile weekly encounter pared with my significant employee discount has become a recipe for obsessive disaster of only the best kind. I have stacks of fabrics, only naturals....linens, silks, woolens, cottons folded on every corner of my room. I have yarn stored in glass jars egging me on to knit them yet comfortably sitting in their dyed skein coils waiting to strike with their venom. I have bags and tin boxes filled with vintage laces, antique buttons, and trims to delight the senses like pearl strands on the hands of newly endowed royalty.
This collection, fueled by inspiration from fellow crafter's, knitter's and a lil' place called etsy.com have inspired me to share my bounty with the world, and hopefully whittle a bit of it down so I can healthily deal with my crazy stash.
Wish me luck. I'm a dame with an addiction. I'm a floozy for fibers!
